Anika finally pushed open the door to the private room after speaking with Tanner.It was a VIP section and was very spacious inside.
Aside from Tony and Leo there were also two other people Anika had never seen before.
Tony, who'd been sitting by the door, noticed Anika and immediately stood up.
"Anika, Zac finally took you out,’ he said politely.
"Come on and let me introduce you to them."
Tony showed the other two people at the chess and card tables.
"These are Deon and Finn, are warriors who endured Zac's poison for three years at university!"
Anika smiled and nodded, "Hello."
Finn and Deon both greeted her.But Deon was a little more talkative.
He set the card down and sheepishly said, "Anika looks exactly like I imagined."
Tony snorted softly.
"She was the campus crush.How many boys had a secret crush on her? I did not know Zac would end up with her in the end.What? Do you have any objections?"
Zac, who was sitting on the other side, glanced at her.
He looked at Anika and pointed to the seat beside him, and said.
"It's too noisy over there.Come here.Anika walked over to Zac's side and sat down without looking at him.But, just as she sat down, Tony exclaimed, "Hey Anika, that bracelet of yours looks a little familiar"
Anika lowered her gaze and examined the chain around her wrist.
It was the one Zac had always kept with him.
She was unconcerned and smiled as she replied, "The T family item is a best-seller.It's fairly common"
Tony nodded and then clicked his tongue, "Zac, you didn't say that Anika's bracelet looks the same as the one you snatched from the thief back then."
Anika wanted to explain when she heard Tony's, but he cut her off when he became passionate.
"Anika, you don't know that when I went to the University to see Zac.When he was only a few feet away from the restaurant, he left me to chase after a thief.He pursued him for over an hour and ended up stepping into a ditch.
Finally, the thief surrendered and gave all the stolen goods to Zac’ Leo, who had just finished playing a phone game, raised his eyes and teased, "I can't tell Zac has done such a great deed before”
Tony proudly shook the card in his hand and said, "Oh, that's a joke.
Zac is without a doubt a man of chivalry! We can't afford to see such deception.
We caught a thief and took him to the police station.
The owner of a wallet even requested that the police award him an honorable banner!"Anika was speechless.
"Did you really step into a ditch?" she asked Zahip who had a puppy-dog expression on his face.
Zac looked down at her and said nothing.
Anika went on, "You even angrily caught the thief.Did you get the banner?"
When he saw the smile in her eyes, Zac's face became expressionless.
He answered Anika helplessly and reluctantly.
‘One day, I would have to sew Tony's mouth together!’ Zac thought.
After coming out of JH, Zac rejected Tony's invitation.
He sat in the car with Anika and went to the villa beside Misty River.
Anika appeared to be in a good mood when Tony had exposed Zac's flaws.
They left early, but they invited Tony and the others to come over to their house another time.
As for Tony, who had received the invitation, he turned around and raised his eyebrows wantonly at Zac, reaping a lower pressure from the man.
As soon as they reached the villa, Anika walked into the kitchen, took some yogurt from the fridge, and handed Zac some.
Then he glanced at the air, where the fridge was, and smiled.
He invited the others over for dinner and tried his best to be an excellent host.
Many people were offended by Zac's temper, and he had invited no one over for dinner since he got married.
It had not been easy for Tony and the others to put up with him until now.
Anika had to help him strengthen his friendship with them.
Zac took the yogurt in one hand and placed it in his pocket with the other.
He leaned against the kitchen door and looked at her.
"You are not angry anymore?" he asked, raising his brows.
Stunned, Anika shook her head.
When Anika heard Tony's story that Zac chased after the thief, the anger she felt disappeared.
She placed her lower lip against him and said, "Actually, if you think about it.I was not really that mad.I just couldn't hold it back"
In the end, Zac did it because of Kayden’s annoying provocation at the banquet.
The only people who saw that photo were Nataly and the other members of the group chat.
It showed that Zac was still in command.
‘Even if he made me angry, he didn't seem to have crossed the line” If this was her disposition toward others, she would have made a scene after losing her temper for an entire day, Anika thought.
However, Zac's words seemed to be unbearable.
"Anika, I said you can be angry with me, “ Zac said as he walked forward and touched her head.
‘How could he break his promise to her? To some extent, it relieved Zac that she could be mad at him because of trivial matters and let it go to face him”he thought.Anika rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea.
Then she smiled and asked, "Can I let you kneel on the washboard?"
Zac's face dropped a little.
He paused for a long time before calmly said, "You must still be mad.You can stay at home.All you have to do is to be careful and to look around’
He had to keep his dignity outside.But, in Zac's opinion, he did nothing to make Anika mad.
As a result, this chance to kneel on the washboard should not exist.Anika did not stop there.
Instead, she said, "Tanner and I met today at JH.He mentioned that there would be a high school reunion.Do you want to go?"
"High School Reunion?" Zac raised his eyebrows.
Anika suddenly remembered Zac was always alone in high school and skipped class occasionally, so his relationship with his classmates was complicated.
Of course, aside from Tony's daily visits, he didn't appear to have any intention of getting along with others.
Zac quickly nodded and said, "If you want to go, I'll accompany you."
"Well, I'll see if I have time? Anika replied.She went back to her room after the two of them finished talking.Although she had intended to move, Anika was so mad at Zac's shameless behavior this morning that she threatened to return to her second bedroom.
This was an important lesson for Zac.
Natie said that men had to learn a lesson from time to time, which Anika wholeheartedly agreed with.
Anika logged on to her WhatsApp, which she hadn't used in a long time.
Then she looked at the announcement on the class group chat and tried to recall what Tanner said about the reunion location.
The reunion will be on the next weekend at an old restaurant near LZ.
The shop had been doing exceptionally well, and rooms are in high demand.
A few former classmates were chatting in the group chat.
Anika did not take part, but she received a message from a group member on the list named Marge Kent right before she logged off.
Marge messaged her, ["Are you online, Anika? God, your account hasn't been hacked, has it?"]
According to the comments, Marge Kent was a member of the class's learning committee.
She sat in front of Anika and often asked her questions.
They had a good relationship.
Anika replied, "No, I met Tanner today.He mentioned that there would be a class reunion soon, so I went to see what was going on"
"So, if you have time, please remember to come.You've been away for years, and no one has contact with you.’ Marge replied.
"Well, I'll be there when I'm available.’ In that regard, Anika had always maintained a cordial relationship with everyone back then.
When they first graduated, they would occasionally contact a few of their classmates to talk about their current situation.
She was used to separation.
She had naughty classmates, and she realized that their relationship would gradually deteriorate after graduation.
As a result, Anika didn't want to make any friends close to her from the start.
Alena was the only exception, having been saved by her two years of mistakes.
Alena was a sweet and cheerful young lady who grew up in a warm family.
Her friendly approach made it impossible for her to refuse.
Even if everyone else had Internet access, different time zones and distances could still separate them until they lost contact with each other.
This also happened with Zac.
Even though she tutored him because of a bet, their relationship had eased considerably when they graduated from high school.
But her decision to travel abroad caused her to lose contact with his family.
Anika couldn't help but wonder what Zac had gone through when they lost contact while she was away.
The young man who had been a loud-mouthed idiot was now in this situation due to a steady, gradual progression rather than to simple good luck.
